Literary significance and reception

The Silent Blade debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at No. 32.[2]

The Spine of the World debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at No. 25.[3]

Servant of the Shard debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at No. 25.[4]

Sea of Swords debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at No. 14.[5] It was positively reviewed in Publishers Weekly, where it debuted at No. 10 on the hardcover bestsellers list.[6] The reviewers described the novel as a "fast–moving fantasy adventure", although they acknowledged that the book, as the last in a sequence of four, was not for the uninitiated.[7]

Matt Drake of RPGnet gave the series a 4 (out of 5) for style, stating that "Salvatore's chrome is starting to tarnish in a few spots, but he is still a great fantasy novelist." He gave it a 3 (out of 5) for substance, stating "With the exception of Spine of the World, these stories are a little predictable and trite."[8]
